There are hundreds of decent iPad cases out there. Unfortunately, very few leave you room for anything other than the iPad itself. What about your stand, your wireless keyboard, your charger or your headphones? Carrying all the accoutrements needed to set your iPad up and use it more like a notebook may seem to defeat [...]
It may be somewhat hard to remember — what with sporadically poor call performance, lots of other hardware to play around with and all those apps — that the iPhone is more-or-less primarily a tool for voice communication. And there’s no better or cheaper way to use that tool than through the Skype app. We’ll [...]
The Just Mobile UpStand iPad stand is simply perfect. The form factor the stand assumes and the material it is made of coupled with how much it weighs makes it the perfect place to perch my iPad on. The stand sits just right upon my desk and holds my iPad horizontally or vertically leaving complete [...]
My dad was a magician at sniffing out great places to eat. We’d drive by some hole-in-the-wall we’d never seen before, and he’d point and say, “that’s where we’ll eat, it’s good.” Then I’d scramble to check out the hole-in-the-wall’s rating using the Yelp app on my iPhone, to see if he was right. The [...]
Got an old lamp-style iMac sitting dusty and unused since you first swooned over it back in 2003? Gut it, install a Larson Scanner Kit into the base and plop it on your head and you’re ready to attend your next Halloween party as… well.. take your pick? iMaCylon? Cyclops from the OS X-Men?

I don’t know about you, but I’m used to being able to customize the operating systems that run on my gadgets. I like to be able to tweak a few things here and there on my Mac especially the things I have to look at all the time like my desktop background and screen saver. [...]
Miss the meaty mechanical kerchunk of slapping down your old Macintosh Plus Keyboard? Feel as if the Apple Wireless Keyboard’s soft and barely yielding keys barely convey the shaking gravity of your prose?

Not quite sure what you’re looking at? These seven Escher-esque airplane propellors were captured by iPhone photographer Soren Ragsdale, and while the resulting image is a bit mind-bending, no genius would find anything wrong with his iPhone’s camera sensor. Instead, the photo is just a trippy (but terribly neat) demonstration of the iPhone’s rolling shutter. [...]

La filas de espera del Palm PRE VS iPhone 3G | Loading, on June 6th, 2009 at 6:51 pm
Two thoughts:
1) The fact that there’s ANY line for a phone other than the iPhone is impressive.
2) I know a number of people who are waiting for their contracts to expire (non-iPhone), and can’t wait to get a new Pre.
Even with as long as it took for Palm to finally come up with their “3rd generation” device, they have a die-hard following (I still use my Handspring Edge) that won’t give up a tool that’s been great to use for a long time. Hopefully these loyal users will be rewarded with the Pre.
Though if I spring for a ridiculously expensive phone it’ll probably be an iPhone. I’m even more fanatical about my Mac than my Palm. If there’s a cheap iPod touch coming with at least 32MB of SSM, I’ll be in that line.

Palm Pre vs iPhone » iPhoneFan, on June 8th, 2009 at 7:22 am
It’s interesting that the Pre got a decent following, not only forming lines at the release, but also coverage in the news. Obviously we won’t be seeing any news reports of the long lines, but there was still exposure to the product before it released.

[...] Occasionally, I’ll get a request to port Mach Dice to other platforms (Palm Pre, LG Touch, HTC Diamond, Google Android, Virtual Tabletop, etc.). But with a full time job, I barely have enough time to just work on the iPhone. So it isn’t likely any time soon. Still, I am curious. Do any of you have one of the other smart phones? Or does anyone have a sense of how many people own each of the devices? My impression is that iPhone has the biggest app customer base out there, but I’ve only ever seen anecdotal evidence. [...]

Ok so I just realized how much I miss having a custom tone for text messages… I know the standard one is very clean and fits in with the whole theme of the phone very well but with all the customization options on the Pre I can’t imagine why the only thing you can select for are phone calls.
I’m pretty sure if people are vocal enough about such an easy change then Palm will respond fairly quickly.

This photo is real BULLSHIT! peaple are fuking idiots and think the iPhone is better than Palm Pre, i’ve have the iphone 2 times, and i just end by selling them on eBay cuz they bored me, now i have the Palm Pre n is beter than iPhone in many ways. The iPhone 3gS is a good phone, but there are many phones out there better, like the palm pre and now more cuz Palm is updating to WebOS 1.4
by the way, apple needs a hole new phone to put video camera on iPhone, in other hands, Plam just make a new WebOS and the problem is resolve!
Palm Rules!!!
